The Calvinist paradigm makes God appear a monster Who arbitrarily torments men without any reason at all.

A common charge levelled against Calvinism, and a charge without any basis. Men are tormented in hell because they are sinners, by consequence of the Fall. In fact, all of us deserve to be tormented in hell. But God has chosen, in love and mercy, to preserve a remnant from destruction.

The subtle error perpetuated by the kind of theology promoted in the piece by Dr. Kalomiros is that we men ultimately hold the keys to heaven and to hell, and that if we so desire, we will may rightly or wrongly perceive God's love. We choose whether we are saved or damned.

However, salvation is of the Lord, not of men.
